Hi, Patty
Just wanted you to know that I bought your book today and can't decide which one I want to make first! What a wonderful quilt book....have three going around in my head screaming "me first! me first!" LOL

That's great, Donna. Thanks for letting me know. I'd love to see a picture when you do settle to one! Have fun! . In message , Donna writes
You'll enjoy working on the them Donna! Have fun. I've done the spiral and the snowflake. Cheers Bronnie
I agree with Bronnie, Donna! I thoroughly enjoyed making the Baravelle Spiral. :)
For those of us who missed the info on the book -- can you clue us in... and maybe provide a link to a purchase location?
I got a copy from Amazon a while back. I have to say that I am intimidated by it :-) It is amazing! Amazon still has it.

no need for intimidation when you've got the author right here to ask her questions if you get stuck on something. just do it. j.

And our Patti is a fine (and patient) teacher. A while back I simply HAD to make some perfect 5-pointed stars and Patti talked me through it. You have to catch her when she's not raising rabbits but I'm sure she can get you through a puzzle if you happen upon one. Polly
Yes of course!
(You know what a hopeless salesperson I am!)
It is a set of 14 small quilts (roughly 24" square), based on patterns derived from mathematical formulae - DON'T be afraid. There is nothing mathematical about the making of them. The pictures of all the quilts are on the cover of the book - so you can see what you are getting! There is also a section, after the detailed instruction part, where I have set out instructions for using the centre parts of the small quilts as blocks to make a large bed quilt in four different ways: straight, on point, medallion, and a fun offset one where all the centre squares (which vary in size a little bit) are used in their original size (rather than being squared up) with infill strips. There are lots of tips throughout the book + bed and quilt sizes; full-size patterns and quilting design suggestions for each one with diagrams.
In the US, I believe the only place to get it is via Amazon.com. You don't have to get it from Amazon itself. Some of the Amazon Marketplace sellers are offering a better price. Do check their recorded reputation, though.
You can, of course, get it from me (and I would sign it); but I can't match the Amazon prices, because the postage is so huge. Amazon get them from my publisher's US agent.
I can send a signed book plate, if anyone would like me to?
Thank you for your interest. IT is a great boost to hear how people have enjoyed making the quilts. . In message , Kate in MI writes
Oh, Rita, please don't be. They vary so much in difficulty. There are some really easy ones that still look marvellous (and, even the harder ones are not that bad). There are honestly only one or two that caused me grief!! And I have been told that the instructions are straightforward to follow, and the diagrams help.
Please e-mail me if you have one you hanker after but are not sure how hard it would be. That applies to anyone, of course. I'll be more than happy to help. . In message , Rita L in MA writes
